nitrous kit - first run

[chevelle]

(321CYA @ Nov. 05 2006,07:30) Hey Chevelle  I see that your stretched VERY NICE Bro

thanks,it's a work in progress

you almost got some more pics....back to that in a sec

the air here today was so incredable,50 degrees 30.55 baro  

(the highest i can recall) 35 % r/h thats 108.1 % on the  r/h calc

so i dropped the nose another .25'' and put the ti oval muzzy can on, b/p was just under 800 lb's, the first hit in 2nd gear pulled the front end up 2 feet...oh my,a mile later the 2nd hit was about the same,heres a pic of me on the 2nd hit  

 

  with the bottle cooling i knew that was the last big hit,so i stopped to take some pics....and that's when i discovered the bats in the camera were dead...oh well,i have a bottle to kill,so i did,it was still strong,but nothing like the first 2 hits...that concludes my excitement for the day

You guys are bad a$$. I just got my Busa a couple of weeks ago and couldn't imagine what putting NO2 would be like. I'm gonna hold off till I can wring everything out of this puppy before I go that route. It's awesome to know that there is so much more out there for me once I am ready for it. Congrats on your new nitrous kit, and the giant cohones that came with it!

It got up to about 50 degrees today but I only got a chance to take one little ride. I had the bottle pretty warm but not as much as yesterday, and I could tell. I hit it only three or four times today as it was a short ride, and I can defiinitely feel the hits getting smaller as bottle temp dropped. I'll be working on a heater solution this week.

It was still amazing, but it didn't freak me out quite like that very first time. I still smile everytime I think about that first hit -

It's going to the tuner soon and the weather here sucks so I'm going to try and stay off of the bike till then.

Like Chevelle said, this is a work in progress. I bet none of the other things I'm doing make me smile this much though.

Thanks again for all the suggestions and help, guys - it's helped!

I'm on it. Will have something figured out by the end of the week.

bottle heater sounds good, I've been looking for one for my 5lb bottle that goes under the hump but all Ive seen is over 150$ anyone else has an idea on where to get them at a better price or is this as good as it gets.......

 

[chevelle]

Do you mean 2 lb. bottle ?

I use a automotive baby bottle heater on my 2lb. bottle,just extend the velcro a little. Not as good as the real thing,but not bad on the cheap.

bring it in sooner... oh yea.... and like any good addict, always chasing the first hit...

Still being a Nitrous virgin,till I get my sorted out,those ride descriptions were like a cheap sex novel. Started slow, then got hot &steamy. lol

Why couldnt you use some heat hand grip strips and then insulate the bottle... Should cost like 60 bucks or so...

Talk about old posts - my bike makes more on motor now than it did on juice when this thread was new.

As far as a warmer I have been using Arctic Cat grip warmers for a snowmobile since I had them laying around - did that back in the spring. Only bad thing is they stick on the bottle with adhesive so you need one for each of your bottles.

Also - mounting on the arm versus in the trunk seems to keep my pressure around 900 even with the warmer off when the outside temp is around 67 ~ 75. Seems to siphon better with the vertical mount as well.

You mean like this? Works great.
